@rainbottes great question. All I can suggest is the others I go for.. Will Oldham, especially Viva Last Blues, but pretty much all the stuff he's done as Bonnie Prince Billie. Also Elliott Smith, Iron and Wine. Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willlie Nelson if you want to get to the roots man - people dismiss that stuff to their detriment. The Clean and The Bats from New Zealand
@rainbottes Check out some Marty Anderson...no one listens to him. He publishes under a number of names, Okay, Dilute, Jaques Kopstein..."Blue skies" which he did as Jaques Kopstein is so close to ML that it's almost an homage...only musician I know who pulled that off. Or check out Okay: "My", "Oh", "Natural." He doesn't have the profoundly beautiful poetry of ML, but his simple lyrics turn hypnotic.
Today my brother and I were talking about Sparklehorse. He said something really funny, and really horrible....."Sparklehorse, AKA, Mark Linkous, AKA, BANG! thud."
I thought it was funny, but it still made me wanna cry.
3.42 goose skin. the reflecting window is amazing, and how lights appear on the pane still amazing. good video and nice song, i've never heard it before watching this. kudos
My freshman year of high school i was so depressed i was considering suicide at least once a day. I used to sit bak everytime i felt like the world was beating me down and just kick it to some sparklehorse and the world would just melt away. The music to me is sad and uplifting all at once. I'm sorry the music wasn't enough for Mark because it was for me. RIP i hope in death you can find what eluded you in life.
Amazing band, amazing track, Mark Linkous is an amazing man, real shame he took his own life although shooting yourself through the heart is a f*cked up way to end your own life.
I can't believe he is dead. He was amazing, I've struggled with a lot in life that he summed in his music so well, fuck, RIP Mark Linkous. sad day for music.
I was listnening to this song and remembered how desperately I've been listening to this song. I got a taste in my mouth by just thinking about that time a year ago. I don't know many people who can understand how great this song is in all its' subtleties.
I read your comments on this video but the nonsense first struck me when I opened up another video. Mark Linkous, you deserve better.
Music is poetry set to music. Sometimes in certain artists you hear the rawness of the spoken word more clearly. This is one of those bands. When someone has found their voice and had the courage to speak it a eulogy is no longer necessary. Only a moment to appreciate it.
@Kestrelfire The lyrics are poetry, in most real music anyway, not all, but most. Or also, the music by itself could be telling a story, like classical music, and other forms of wordless music today.
@Kestrelfire youre obviously not a musician, nor would i assume you know anything about creating music in general. Orrrrr youre more retarded than i thought, and you just dont know what poetry or music is.
@snugglebear97653 thank you for demonstrating what an idiot you are. Maybe you didn't read what this JiffyMike person said: "Music is poetry set to music" is the poorest definition I've ever had the misfortune of reading. I agree with what he's saying, he just doesn't have a very clear way of stating it.
@Kestrelfire so im the idiot because you agree with the principle of what that person is saying but you disagree how its being stated? yep, im the idiot ha.
@kitsurubami you just said defining in the definition, though.. kind of a double standard. but i see your point. but let's drop it here, because this song is too powerful to have things like this on here. cool?
sad and beautiful.. come on man when did you let go of the beauty you saw in it all as it is. Whats going on in this world it is sad... very sad just like your passing. RIP you were an amazing artist and an amazing person
I've watched this video for so long and I can't explain how much I like it. It gives me a new perspective on the song. It is as if it is trying to show me how sad and beautiful life is.
Especially the homless guy in the box. The images slide along and shows us how all this is a part of life.
Even though this video is everyday things it manages (combined with the song) to show us how beautiful and dreamy it can be. We all suffer, but we have to enjoy it, cause life is the only chance we have.
I really like the video you've made/putted in for this song. It's nice to watch while hearing this song. Thank you.
